Be friendly from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
The "Topic" of being friendly is an essential part of forming meaningful connections with others. It is important to practice kindness, show appreciation and be considerate towards others in order to create positive relationships. Being friendly can help build trust and respect, leading to stronger relationships with people.- Show sincere appreciation towards others and involve yourself in conversations. By doing this, you will develop a positive relationship with the person in question as well as show them that you are friendly.
- Find commonalities between you and the person. Linking yourselves to each other will give the other person a clearer insight about how you share mutual interests.
- Have an open stance even if you may disagree with the person. That way, the other person isn't intimidated by your judgmental attitude and understands that they can come to you for advice.
- Rather than trying to be right in all situations, try to genuinely understand the other person’s perspective. This will not only make you come off as a friendly person but also demonstrate respect towards the person in question.
- Make sure to have good body language such as smiling and making eye contact when talking to people. Smiling shows that you're approachable and open for conversation.
- Put forth constructive ideas rather than complaints. Nobody wants to feel as though their opinions amount to nothing. Offering helpful advice as opposed to critiques can be seen as significantly friendlier and inviting.
